THE DISTRICT ESTIMATES.
The Commissioners Discussing the De-

TAILS as TO the SCHOOLS
The commissioners were in secret session
yesterday over the estimates, and notwlth-
standing the coolness prevailing about the
BUILDING they warmed up as they discussed
the details Mr. Webb has sent for the school
estimates, which will cause no little discus
sion as to the manner In which they are TO be
presented. Some of the trustees, In view OF
the attitude taken by Senator Plumb last ses-
sion will insist that the estimates be prepared
separately for the high schools (white and
Colored), the white public schools, the colored
public schools, and the manual and industrial
schools. This will be done to show the rela.
tive cost of each school system. and do
away with the old plan OF Jumping the
amounts, and thereby prejudiclng the inter-
csts of the graded schools. The trustees think
that the salaries of the high school teachers
thrown in with the salaries of the grade teach.
ers had the tendency to show up falsely the
real average salaries of the grade teachers
At any rate, some of the trustees think that
this innovation will be beneficial and that 1t
will show at glance what each system costs
II any necessity arises that school should go
under they will stand by the grade schoolg IN
preference to the high schools. The trustees
will ask for three additional school buildings
one in the northwest section, one in South
Washington, and one near the Capitol. Two
or three small buildings will be asked for In
the pn1uty.
